CLEVELAND We are three months out from the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but in Cleveland a career-related spinoff of the Games wrapped up today.
The event was Youth Opportunities Unlimited’s annual Youth Career Olympics, and nearly 100 students took part in contests that tested their job-readiness skills.
This year, Youth Opportunities Unlimited rolled out the annual competition in a new and exciting way – through an online portal. This feature transformed the experience into a virtual convention that included interactive videos, a virtual job fair and more.
